English Lyrics
Verse 1
When the church of Jesus Shuts its outer door, Lest the roar of traffic Drown the voice of prayer: May our prayers, Lord, make us Ten times more aware That the world we banish Is our Christian care.
Verse 2
If our hearts are lifted Where devotion soars High above this hungry Suffering world of ours: Lest our hymns should drug us To forget its needs, Forge our Christian worship Into Christian deeds.
Verse 3
Lest the gifts we offer, Money, talents, time, Serve to salve our conscience To our secret shame: Lord, reprove, inspire us By the way You give; Teach us, dying Savior, How true Christians live.
